Writing requires a couple pairs of eyes 
on the road map.


​About you

You want to provide a clean, concise, compelling piece to your readers. You want to be sure you've said what you think you've said. And you want to turn a mess of words into a meaningful gift, a source of inspiration and information for your audiences.

Maybe your short story needs flow or your poetry manuscript needs order. Perhaps your organization yearns for a style sheet. Maybe you need a bit of encouragement. 

I ask lots of questions and make suggestions. Clients note my thoroughness and gentle style. We develop a relationship: You trust me with deadlines and the serial comma. I trust your voice, verve, commitment, and skills. 

Let's rev up your story, put some polish on it, and get you on the right road.

If you promise a story inside you that you'll tell it, 
the best you can, then just start anywhere. It'll join you, 
like a quiet caseworker.
~Anne Lamott


​About me

PicturePhoto: Kevin Brauer
My heart and head are dedicated to helping writers create their best work. 

I believe in the power of story. The magic of metaphor. And a well-placed sentence fragment.
                                                    
​My motto: Writing is a team sport. 

See some projects I've been lucky enough to work on with a bunch of diverse and talented writers. And take a look at my CV, if you like.
